Can't access control panel through Firefox

When I log in to the control panel in Firefox, it hangs shortly after logging in. Sometime as soon as I log in, sometimes I can get as far as adding a new client, and then it hangs, to the extent that I have to force quit the application.

I reinstalled ISPConfig to see if that helped, to no avail.

I then tried accessing it through IE (running Crossover Office) and it works fine. Anyone else have this problem?

There are no entries added to /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log when up to the point Firefox hangs.

I also don't have the startup script /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server - I'm guessing ISPConfig should have created this.

Well I looked at the differences (very few) and reinstalled - still no Firefox support. There are still no errors in the log files. I'm guessing this is a firefox bug, although how that could be, I don't know...

Here's an interesting developement. My previous posts are for a ubuntu5.1 install. I've now also installed ISPConfig on a VPS running Debian testing, and firefox works fine with that. I'll double check when I get to work tomorrow to see if it's just firefox on my work machine that has a problem.

Yes we are having the same problem. On Internet explorer 6 ISPCOnfig works fine. On my Linux workstation with Mozilla 1.7.12, I have to refresh manually very often (while changing from ISP Management to DNS Management for example) and hav to logout and login if I add a new site or new user to be able to see it on the tree menu.

I just wanted to add to this that, I have installed around five installations of ISPConfig all based off of the Perfect Ubuntu setup; all the way back to 5.05 and now up to 8.04. I have never had the issue to which FireFox hangs during use of the backend administrative panel.

I just built a new server using Ubuntu 8.04 with ISPConfig 2.2.24 and it was working smoothly with FireFox 2 and FireFox 3 while in my office. Once I moved the server and installed it into it's new Co-located home (thus changing IP addressing), ISPConfig now hangs during the loading of the left side panel where the directory tree is. You can press the Stop button in your browers and it will show up, but if you don't, it will just sit there waiting for your server to load some kind of magical content.

Internet Exploder works fine, but I would rather not have to dig up that shortcut from the depths of hell just to use a control panel...!

Trust me, I already have. I have tried three different computers each with FF not working and IE working. I have 10+ years in computer support and I have tried every trick in my book. Like I said, there was nothing wrong untill the IP change... then FF stopped working and it's ONLY the left side bar where the tree view is held. Everything else loads fine. Is there some kind of hardcoded JS utilizing the IP?

We will release 2.2.25 in a few days. I've changed the Javascript code for the left frame (the tree) in it because some users had problem with their browsers loading that frame again and again. You might want to try to update to that release then.
